Outbound Proxy
Secondary Outbound Proxy
DNS Mode
NAT Traversal
Firmware Version 1.0.3.6
It is used to configure the IP address or the Domain name of the Primary
Outbound Proxy, Media Gateway, or Session Border Controller. It's
used by the phone for Firewall or NAT penetration in different network
environments. If a symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and
ONLY an Outbound Proxy can provide a solution.
It is used to configure the IP address or the Domain name of the
Secondary Outbound Proxy, Media Gateway, or Session Border
Controller. The phone system will try to connect the Secondary
outbound proxy only if the primary outbound proxy fails.
It is used to set which DNS service will be used to lookup IP address for
SIP server's hostname. It can be selected from the dropdown list:

A Record

SRV

NATPTR/SRV.
If it needs DNS SRV resource, which DNS server response more than
one result, it should be set to "SRV" or "NATPTR/SRV". The default
setting is "A Record".
It is used to configure which NAT traversal mechanism will be enabled
on the phone system. It can be selected from the dropdown list:
NAT NO
STUN
Keep-alive
uPnP
Auto
VPN
If the outbound proxy is configured and used, it can be set to "NAT NO".
If set to "STUN" and STUN server is configured, the phone system will
periodically send STUN message to the SUTN server to get the public IP
address of its NAT environment and keep the NAT port open. STUN will
not work if the NAT is symmetric type.
If set to "Keep-alive", the phone system will send the STUN packets to
maintain the connection that is first established during registration of the
phone. The "Keep-alive" packets will fool the NAT device into keeping
the connection open and this allows the host server to send SIP
requests directly to the registered phone.
If it needs to use OpenVPN to connect host server, it needs to set it to
"VPN".
If the firewall and the SIP device behind the firewall are both able to use
